Kids at Risk in China
Rural Chinese kids face trafficking risk
BEIJING - Rural Chinese children increasingly risk being sold or forced to become beggars, petty thieves or sex workers as their farmer parents flock to cities looking for work, an international rights group said Wednesday.
China has a thriving black market in girls and women who are sold as brides, as well as babies who are abducted or bought from poor families for sale to childless couples or those who have one child and want more.
The government says that it has cracked down harshly on such cases, and that the trend is decreasing.
